Brother Gene Smith

Bro. Gene Smith is the Associate Pastor at Chaplin Baptist Church. His area of focus is working with youth and young adults, and his emphasis is on strengthening families. He desires to support, encourage, and equip parents in raising their children to know and love the Lord… to give young people opportunities for service so that they might learn the value of investing in others… to be a facilitator in bridging intergenerational relationships within the church… and to teach the Bible chronologically so that people might understand God’s Word as it was intended—as God’s revelation of Himself in the context of real history.

Bro. Gene enjoys spending time with his precious family-- his wife, Alana… his daughter, Raina… his son, Shepherd… and a baby boy on the way!) He also has a passion for Apologetics. His heart is to equip our congregation with the tools they need to defend their faith. 1 Peter 3:15 exhorts us to “Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect.” The church needs to know that Christianity is faith-based, but this does not mean we need to check our brains at the door. God’s revelation of Himself is logical, historically accurate, and can be trusted. We can be confident in the Scriptures and in the Christ in which they testify.
